Kirk gives her a small smile at the touch, but then he frowns and looks away. "That's not quite it." He sighs and has to force himself to continue. "To be honest, I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place right now. And... you're the rock. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have feeling for you. Beyond lust, which is... different for me. Different than usual that is. Problem is, there's another woman... sort of. Her name's Mina. Though that's not easy either. There's something wrong with her mind, and I don't know if it can be fixed either. I felt a connection there. But then there's still you, and I'll admit I don't know what to think."

Kirk drops to the ground, sitting against the cabin wall. He pulls his hat low, concealing his face. "I don't expect anything from you. I couldn't. I just thought I'd be honest to you and myself for once in my life. Kind of wish it didn't make me feel like a child again though."
